05 November 2015

The investigation in the shooting dead of a convicted drug dealer
in Cork almost six years ago is still continuing.
41-year old Gerard Topper Stanton was shot dead outside his
rented home at Westlawn off Sarsfield Road in Wilton ,
in January 2010.
The inquest into his death has been adjourned on numerous
occasions and today at Cork City Coroner's Court it was
confirmed that gardai are still waiting for directions
from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The case was adjourned further until May next year.
Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster told a previous
hearing that a post mortem examination confirmed
that he died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
